You could outgrow the souvenir toys and the T-shirts, but you’ll never outgrow a photograph of yourself and your loved ones in front of fan-favorite Disney attractions and park icons.
This makes Disney’s PhotoPass service a fan-favorite route to get tons of souvenirs that last a lifetime: photos! PhotoPass photographers are stationed at TONS of locations throughout the Disney parks, ready to scan your MagicBand or ticket and snap a photo of you and your crew — which will then link to your Disney account. These photos are taken with professional cameras and the PhotoPass Cast Members are trained to pose you and your group so that everyone is in the frame and looking great. Sometimes, you’ll even be able to use special props! Photo packages are available that allow you to purchase single photos, certain photos per day, and even Memory Maker, which allows you to download ALL of the photos that are taken throughout your vacation.
As far as photo opportunities go, well… they’re seemingly ENDLESS! There is an impressive array of photos that you can take with characters, special effects and props, and even in front of the park icons. To help you out, we’ve curated this FULL LIST of PhotoPass opportunities throughout the parks. Let’s go!
